Another birthday celebration at Maito. We flew to Panama to be with our daughter on her birthday. We chose Maito based on tripadvisor recommendations (and glad that we did.) The restaurant, formerly a house, is remodeled with a lot of glass facing a tropically landscaped front yard. The menu was interesting. My husband had the excellent risotto and I had... More

Tucked away in a house-turned restaurant set back from the main road, guests are greeted by lovely open veranda and herb garden. The dishes are beautifully presented and refined. The atmosphere is elegant and tranquil.

I loved the ambiance of this small house turned restaurant. The food is good and fresh! The carpaccio was delicious and the portobello risotto worthy of a *** restaurant!

I came here a couple of nights ago with my boyfriend and family to celebrate my birthday. We have been living in Panama for 5 years and had heard of the restaurant but had never tried it. The place is a little hard to find but it was worth the drive. I liked the muted decor and little touches that... More

The items we had were all from the recommendations of the waiter and were simply delicious. Service was perfunctory and efficient. The setting has character and the tables were well spaced that even with the presence of a few large groups in the same room, your conversation can still stay private.

It´s a very nice place to taste Panamanian ingredients. I could not say it is a gourmet place, but I really enjoy it

Even the Marriott Panama where we stayed had average to poor food, this is probably Panama City's best, it's run by a Chef Husband and his wife and 2 other Chefs from Spain & Panama. Very reasonably priced and good food and drinks, a must if you are there.

Dined outside at Maito in the evening and the entire meal was superb. The food was incredible, the service was attentive but not overwhelming and the dining area was nice. The menu changes but if you can get the stuffed squid with black risotto you will not be disappointed. We had a wide variety of dietary needs ranging from vegan... More

Delicious and cozy. Great organic meals with fresh local produce. Bummer is its always full and you have to plan ahead and make a reservation.
